Remember the good ole days, before the advent of the check engine light? If that wasn't a revenue generator for car companies, I don't know what was. When you cranked the car up, and the generator (not alternator) gauge showed positive, and the oil pressure gauge (not a light) showed you had oil pressure, you were good to go.

I droped the plastic tank on my forty year old truck, took the sending unit out, took it to power wash the inside to get all the crud out. then I ordered new gaskets and seals and installed new pump / sending unit which is what I would recomend if anyone does the same to their tank - make sure to clean it out and install all new seals with new pump / sending unit.

Great info for a vehicle that’s been sitting for a while, thanks Scotty! Another one to look for is the condition of the wires. Rodents like to get up in an engine bay of a sitting vehicle and make their homes, chewing all the wiring in the process. If that happens it can be really tough to track down where the issue stems from

@ironclaw6969 Год назад

Big concern with that engine. The PCU is mounted on the side of the intake manifold, lots of wiring right there.

@seanb3516 Год назад

Old Gas. When I was much younger I was helping a friend with his VW Microbus. Those 'camper vehicles' [not for use in COD] had heaters that used the gasoline from the tank. The heater had failed around 18 years earlier. You could see in the fuel line at one point and the liquid inside was chunky and like sour milk. Long story short I sucked a mouthful of that fuel by accident. It's sour & horrifying, not tasting like gasoline at all [not a connoisseur or anything...engineer]. Gasoline definitely 'sours' and it becomes acidic as well. Also, doesn't go well with Fava Beans. XD

There's probably a second oxygen sensor behind the cat, at least there is on my Buick with the same engine/tranny combo.

@jeladsnikpoh1289 Год назад

There is, but it doesn't have the same role as the front one. The front one monitors and controls the air/fuel ratio, very important. The rear one doesn't have to be as precise, as it simply needs to stay 'leaner' than the front one to report that the catalytic converter is sufficiently 'cleaning up'. It doesn't control the air/fuel ratio. My Envoy has the V8, so I have 2 front and 2 rear O2sensors. I had to replace both fronts, as I had the code, and the thing ran terrible (hadn't been changed in 245k). Runs like new now, and 20MPG with the snappy V8, heavy long wheelbase model.

Here is the thing with GMC vehicles during that time. You could change the dash cluster which would show lower miles, but the computer would show original miles right? So what you do is you disconnect the battery with the new used dash cluster with lower miles. Then after 10 minutes you take the positive cable and tap it on the negative terminal of the battery. This resets everything so the computer then learns the miles you have on the used dash cluster. This is a huge scam and thing is Government has not stepped in to stop it.

Would love to be Scotty’s customer and have him do a video about how my car is the worst car in history.

@bernie472 Год назад

Scotty, Just curious, what is your opinion on Jasper engines, and Transmissions? I've heard some pretty bad things about their quality, but juast wanted your take.

@wally7856 Год назад

I'm sure he's "shocked", "pissed off" and "mad as hell" that Jasper engines just "killed the future of electric cars" by rebuilding engines from "the worst cars ever made"!

Good afternoon Scotty!! Are Jasper remanufactured engines good or bad?

@chuckz28 Год назад

Junk. Lots of people have issues right off the bat and they are not friendly about replacing them.

@NocThunder Год назад

@@chuckz28 Good to know...I'll look into other manufacturers of remanufactured engines. Thanks for the heads up.

I always wonder how Scotties customers feel when he posts these types of things while in the customer vehicle lol dont cats give the same symptoms? of course that would be the last thing I would worry about

I had an 03 GMC Envoy with the same engine and it was rock solid at 288K when I sold it. We did have to replace the transmission twice though. That inline 6 is stout.

@mattnorman5241 Год назад

thats a pos if you replaced the tranny twice

@TeeLocky Год назад

@@mattnorman5241 I'm saying how great the engine was. Also, 2 transmissions over 300k + miles isn't horrible.

it seems to be a rust free vehicle. a car that age around here that has seen winters is a rusted piece of garbage

@smokey2459 Год назад

My 2003 Trailblazer had the faulty ignition repaired twice, transmission software reflashed three times, radiator failed at 60k, brakes rotors pads and hubs failed at 65k. But the v-8 and 4wd were awesome.

Scotty I had the same issue with my 97 Expedition XLT 4.6. Sat for probably 5 years I put a fuel pump and Filter In It and it ran but I couldn't Rev it over 3000 RPM and it kept misfiring. Put A set if Plugs in it and still did the same thing and so I said maybe the converters were clogged but I don't know the were stolen off of it while I was out of town one week and so I haven't even messed with it any since that happened. It was given to me and I'm gonna get it back on the road soon I hope. inside looks brand new, it was owned by an old lady

Jasper engine remanufacturing company. Probably rebuilt millions of engines through the past decades...of all makes.

@mplslawnguy3389 Год назад

The Toyota bias in Scotty is strong. While great cars, how can you trash this Trailblazer that is probably approaching 300,000 miles. Still a pretty good vehicle, and probably much cheaper than a comparable Toyota or Lexus. This era was probably the last good cars GM put out, but these weren't bad SUV's.
